Apps & Games content ratings on Softonic

Content ratings help you understand the type of content you might find in an app or game, so you can decide if they are suitable for you and your family.

What do the ratings actually tell me?

Content ratings describe the minimum age we feel the content is suitable for. It does not indicate that the app was specifically designed for that particular age, or if a certain level of skill is required to play the game or use the app.

Where can I find the content ratings?

You will find the content ratings on every app or game page.

Why are some apps or games unrated?

If an app or game does not have a rating, it means that it has not yet been rated, or it’s been rated and we’re working to update the page.

Rating Systems

Softonic uses the rating systems by PEGI and ESRB. The ratings you see may vary by country or region.

Take screenshots of your Android device

PicMe is perhaps the most simple solution you'll find to capture screenshots of your Android phone.

Taking screenshots on your Android device is a lot more difficult than it should be. On the iPhone you can press two keys and it's done, but with Google's mobile OS you'll be scratching your head trying to work out how it's done.

Once installed on your device, PicMe uses your network connection to display images of your screen on a web server.

When connected, a small window appears within PicMe showing you the URL where the image is being relayed to. Type this address into any web browser and it will display an image of what's currently being displayed on your Android phone. You can then grab these images using an ordinary screen capture tool, such as SnagIt or PicPick.

There are three different ways to view the device's screen using PicMe - Static, which displays only the screen state when PicMe was activated; plus Live and Live (standalone), which both give you a real time view of what's happening on your handset.

PicMe is not quite as useful as the iPhone screen grabbing feature because it requires a desktop screenshot app to take grabs from your phone. However, it's probably the best way to take Android screenshots at present.

Pros

Three different views

Very easy to use

Quick to respond in Live mode

Cons

Requires an extra program to grab the screen on the desktop

"There are several apps"

There are several apps on the Marketplace for screenshots, but your phone has to be rooted for this to work.
